Answer for First match modern defense

Hey Casper, I think for your first match with this new style it’s pretty good already, so well done! The main things I notice that will help you keep improving are the footwork and speed of getting into position for shots early, which is important playing this style. So just lots of work on footwork speed and getting into position to attack with your forehand or step out and chop with the backhand. I n and out movement is always very important for this style as well so working on chopping back from the table and then stepping in quick for a short push or to attack. And of course the other way as being close to the table and having to quickly step out and back.

The more matches you play the more you will see the areas you are struggling with and what’s working , I think for you it’s just getting very comfortable with everything now so lot’s of match type drills and exercises and then trying to understand the patterns that work and where you win points and also where you have weaknesses how to avoid them happening too much in match play 🙂 Dan
